two big stories i just had to kick my two cents in on early today are:
microsoft rewards live players for their patience
so my worst fears are confirmed. it's just a crappy live game. and not just that. it's going to be one game that everyone gets, so you might already own it and they aren't going to replace the couple of weeks that we couldn't use live (and it's still sketchy now!).
m$ says it's because of too many people joining (and using) live over the christmas holidays, other people don't agree.
and almost as big a story, though not half as exciting:
activision is finally handing out new stereo copies of guitar hero iii for wii
i guess all the whinging finally worked.
but to be honest, this was a stupid mistake to make and think that people wouldn't notice. when you're playing battle mode, or any multiplayer mode, the first thing you notice is how cool it is when the audio goes from one side of the screen to the other depending on who's playing. not to mention that most of the music in the game was recorded in stereo!
good to see them finally start cleaning up that mess though...
here's hoping there's some good news today, like burnout paradise will have an optional menu, or that i won't be sick all weekend...
cheers, beers and weirs,
JD
p.s. again, my undying appreciation to kotaku for kicking ass and taking names at getting this stuff up so fast. oh, and the link for replacement disks is only a pre-register, i guess they're still not ready to send them out yet.
